We planted a seed, and a community blossomed! 🌱✨
Our very first Community Garden Commons exceeded every expectation. It wasn't just about plants; it was about the incredible people who nurture them. We spent the day immersed in stories of grit, growth, and the shared passion that keeps our local green spaces thriving.
A huge thank you to the hearts and hands behind the gardens that joined us. These teams are the backbone of Singapore's urban farming movement:
| Garden | Garden | |
| Cultivate Central | Waterside Community Garden | |
| Marine Crescent Community Garden | Costa Rhu Community Garden | |
| Dakota Crescent Community Garden | Jalan Senang Community Garden | |
| Katong Community Garden | Siglap South Community Garden |
Listening to the journey of each garden was a masterclass in perseverance. From the initial challenges of breaking ground to the daily joy of the harvest, we explored how our collective grassroots efforts align with Singapore's larger food security vision. Beyond the logistics of gardening, we focused on the "soul" of the work:
Mindful Moments: A deep thank you to Karuna for setting a soulful mood with a beautiful singing bowl meditation, reminding us to ground ourselves as we ground our plants.
A "Delicious Ecosystem": Our Local-Twist Bhel was more than just a snack—it was a symbol of the day. Much like a healthy garden, it represented the harmony and synergy created when diverse elements come together.
This is just the beginning. The energy in the room confirmed that this platform is needed, and we are thrilled to announce that Community Garden Commons will return next year.
Do you run a community garden? Or perhaps you know of a hidden gem in your neighborhood that deserves a spotlight? We want to hear from you.
